AGENDA MATTER:
APPROVE TRAVEL EXPENSE FOR COUNCIL MEMBER WALDROP TO ATTEND THE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES ANNUAL CONFERENCE AND SELECT A VOTING DELEGATE SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In August 2001, the City Council adopted a policy establishing procedures and guidelines for travel and certain other expenses of Council Members. Pursuant to that policy, and in order to be in compliance with policy, it will be necessary for the Council to authorize expenses prior to commitment for travel; the proposed expenses need to be reviewed and authorized by the full Council.
The 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference is scheduled for September 20 through 22, 2023, at the Sacramento SAFE Credit Union Convention Center. The Conference will also hold their Annual Business Meeting on Friday, September 22, 2023. To ensure the City of Taft is represented and has a voice at the Annual Business Meeting, it will be necessary to select a voting delegate to attend the business meeting. It will also be necessary to select an alternate voting delegate in the event the delegate is unable to attend the meeting. Expenses are estimated to be approximately $1,600 per attendee. Our League of California Cities Legislative Delegate Council Member, Ron Waldrop, has stated his interest in attending.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
(1) Motion to approve funds from City Council training budget for registration, meals, transportation, and other incidental expenses for Council Member Waldrop, to attend the 2023 League of California Cities Annual Conference and the League of California Cities Annual Business Meeting in Sacramento.
